Care Packages
Care Packages: Celebrating the Art and Craft of Thoughtfully Made Packages | Michelle Mackintosh
26 posts | 1 read
Ideas and inspiration for crafting beautiful parcels for any occasion Michelle Mackintosh is on a mission to encourage people to reconnect with each other. Many of us send care packages without even realizing it get-well packs, student treats, food packages to expats, clothes packages to charities, family packages to loved ones in the military the list can be endless. Put together with Michelle's beautiful collage aesthetic, Care Packages brings back the art of crafting packages with love and care. The book is split into several chapters including reasons to send a care package, types of care packages, delivery, what to include and projects on how to design, craft, and decorate your care package. Projects are easy to achieve with step-by-step photography and instructions. This book will inspire a sense of time, love, and affection when corresponding with a loved one.

Got this package today. Since it has absolutely no return address or any other business information on it, I will assume this is @catiewithac 's #LLWS package from Amazon to me. Thanks!

@Bookgoil @rsteve388

catiewithac Thank heavens!!!! The original package from Powell‘s got shipped over to OH! 4y
MaGoose @catiewithac Ohio?! Sort of close to Indiana, I guess... Can't wait to open the package! 4y
MaGoose @catiewithac Your package is running late, of course. It arrived at a P.O. facility in Indianapolis, so at least it's getting closer. Hopefully, you'll get it soon. 4y

My #Jolabokaflodswap arrived today. Thank you to whoever sent it. And thanks to Chelle, @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this yearly swap. My outgoing package, which I forgot to take a picture of, is on its way to @Lovesbooks87 for #Elfswap. Tracking says it should arrive on Thursday the 10th. Thanks to Aletheia @Avanders for hosting this fun swap. That‘s the last of my packages. My hubs was an amazing postal elf which was a huge help

Lovesbooks87 Yay! I will be on the look out for it! 4y

Yesterday in the mail I received my last swap package for the #hauntedhallowsswap. @wanderinglynn I will tag the sender when I get home as I forgot to look before I ran to the post office.

And this picture makes my hose look trashed. I promise it‘s not as bad as it looks.

When a friend calls to tell you they‘ve been denied exit (with their 18mo) because their husband‘s company willfully ignored visa rules they‘d specifically queried & can‘t deal with anything “real” at the moment, it helps to have the ideal reading material at hand! 😊😊😊😊 (poor thing is terrified and looking at potential deportation/being refused re-entry. Given her life & supporting wage are here, this is NOT GOOD). Cross ‘em please people!🤞🏻

CarolynM Bloody outrageous! Where do they get off messing with people's lives? I sincerely hope the company takes responsibility and sorts this out properly. 7y
Cinfhen I‘m so sorry for this news. I agree with @CarolynM sending prayers to your friend xx 7y
GlassAsDiamonds @CarolynM @Cinfhen thanks - it is NOT a good day (and the Hr guy, to our stunned fury, has dug in and is swearing he did nothing wrong putting a spouse and two kids under 4 on “leave every 90 Days” visas). She was really struggling here anyway so this is NOT helping. We‘ve pitched a fit (husband and older kid were required to leave) and now there‘s a relocation company involved. 😡😡😡 7y

Cinfhen 😪😪😪 7y
CarolynM I hate to say it, but she might be needing a good lawyer 7y
wanderinglynn Ditto to what @CarolynM said. A good immigration lawyer and then one to bring a suit against the company & HR guy. That‘s ridiculous to screw with people‘s lives that way. (edited) 7y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook Oh my gosh, that's horrible. Praying for your friend! 7y
AmyG That‘s terrible. Hope things work out ok for her and her family. 7y
megt This is so terrible to hear. Keeping your friend and her family in my thoughts and hope the situation gets sorted out soon. 7y

Heading to the post office this afternoon to send off my #MugLove and #dystopianblues packages, as well as a little #LitsyPenPal love for @Melissa_J

I love sending #bookmail as much as I love receiving it (maybe even more sometimes)! In the works: my first #FeedaReader package, and some more #LitsyPenPal in the form of a Canadian care package for @Betty 🇨🇦😁

Betty And this morning I mailed a puzzle postcard to you Am curious how long it'll take to get there. (edited) 7y

Day 6 of #HaveCourageBeKind today I took care of one of my employees. I had to cover a shift and.tnos employee who already worked all weekend came in to cover it. He worked really hard tonight so I bought him dinner as a thank you. It was small but he seemed happy. Anyone ever experience any #RandomActsOfKindness? What small things have made a big impact on your life?

TricksyTails Loving this! ♥️ 7y
